2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler had first-round hype early in his college career, but he never matched the promise of a 28-TD season for Oklahoma in 2020, and ultimately landed in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He made six starts as a rookie, losing all six games while averaging just 5.8 YPA and throwing more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four). Rattler was in a terrible situation, playing behind a supbar offensive line and without the Saints' top two receivers, but it's nonetheless difficult to draw positives from such a brutally bad stat line. He may get another shot to compere for the starting job anyway, as the Saints otherwise are left with 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough and 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener after Derek Carr announced his retirement in May.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.36 million contract with the Saints in May of 2024.
Does little on big volume
Rattler completed 27 of 46 passes for 214 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals. He added 29 rushing yards on four carries.
ANALYSIS
The second-year QB didn't commit a turnover, but that was about the only silver lining to his Week 1 performance. Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes in his first game in new coach Kellen Moore's scheme despite the fact that the score was fairly close all the way through, but his 4.7 yards per attempt was poor. With Tyler Shough waiting in the wings, Rattler may need to improve his numbers quickly to keep his starting job, beginning with a Week 2 home tilt against the 49ers.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler was the third selection of the Saints in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he's likely in the cards for the team's future plans at quarterback. However, the fifth-round pick will immediately contend for the backup role behind starting signal-caller Derek Carr. With Jameis Winston gone to Cleveland, Rattler will contend with journeyman Nathan Peterman and 2021 fourth-round pick Jake Haener, the latter of whom has yet to make his NFL debut. Rattler started his collegiate career with high expectations at Oklahoma before losing his job to Caleb Williams in 2021, and he finished with a 19:8 TD:INT at South Carolina in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting start Sunday
Rattler will start Sunday's preseason opener against the Chargers, the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year signal-caller is considered the biggest threat to rookie Tyler Shough for the starting quarterback job to open the season. Rattler got plenty of first-team reps the last several days, and he should have a good chance of putting together some crisp drives Sunday, considering he started six games during his rookie 2024 campaign and appeared to be getting into a rhythm as the regular season concluded.
